A colorful Christmas

Olo!

Brrr! It is so cold here! You know it's time to bundle up when only a couple of degrees separate your low and high temps for the day. ;)Which of course gives me a fantastic excuse to just cuddle up and get cozy in my crafty room. It feels like I'm saying this every other post but my desk is a serious disaster zone so if I want to get anything done that will have to be tackled first. Wish me luck!

I honestly didn't think that I would get a card made for this week's Double Take Tuesday challenge over at TGF because I couldn't see working a rainbow color scheme into a Christmas card. BUT yesterday I remembered this striped print in an old Cosmo Cricket paper pad and I had to give it a go. This Miss Anya Scarves was already stamped up and waiting so I grabbed her and knew it was a great match when I saw all the stripes in her scarf. The resulting rainbow of colors that I used on her outfit may make it look like Anya got dressed in the dark, LOL, but I prefer to think of her as being an off-beat and confident individual. ;)So she has proudly braved the cold to load up the car with Christmas gifts and the all important tree. Now it's time to return home for a warm cup of cocoa. And isn't that car cool? I actually found it in my gift wrapping stash as it is a gift tag that I got in a pack from Costco years ago. Needless to say I quickly appropriated it for my card making instead. It really helped to pull this whole rainbow of a Christmas card together if you ask me. :)

Alrighty folks, I hope you get to enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll chat at ya again manana

Amy I think this card ROCKS! I love Anya's scarf and hat. She just looks like a teenager that love herself some color for those cold winter days. Especially when you are headed out to pick that perfect tree. lol... Truly this card makes me smile. I love the car with it and the way you have incorperated the buttons into it as well. Great coloring as always my friend. You really are very talented as I can even see the shading on her scarf. I for one know mine would not have that much detail in it. We are cold like you as well. Yesterday wasn't too bad, but boy oh boy did I feel it this morning in our bedroom. It is just down right COLD! I managed to make 3 different cards yesterday, and now I have to clean my desk so that I can take the pictures and get onto my next project. :O) Never ending when it comes to the desk cleaning. lol.. Have a wonderful Sunday my friend. Hugs, Lisa

She is so adorable. Nice to see a teen so confident with her colorful self. How perfect to have had that car tag. Perfect rainbow Christmas card.

I colored up all three of your Angels a number of times but haven't got in my room to make them into cards cause my desk is such a mess. As it's already the 9th I better do them today so I can get them photographed, mailed, and posted. Lol :-)

Wow!! You are just the best at finding the perfect paper or embellishment for your cards!! I'd see something too and would set it aside but the. Wouldn't remember where I'd place it! Love the brightness
